The ultimate electronic toy – ecotronics

What's the number one annoying thing about electronic toys (apart from the daft sounds they usually make)? Flat batteries I reckon ... having to replace them every 5 minutes is not only costly but also screws up the planet as household batteries usually end up in the garbage can where they turn into chemical timebombs.

Fortunately the good people at Ecotronics have come up with just the solution. Electronic toys that don't need batteries! The concept is simple - use a small generator to produce energy on the fly. All Ecotronics toys feature some kind of handle or wind-up thing that you need to turn a few times or squeeze to generate enough electricity to keep the toy running for a while. Brilliant - using this simple meachnism an Ecotronic toy achieves three things:

* saves you money and helps save the planet
* teaches your offspring the fundamental concept of work and reward
* gets the little one started on an exercise routine early

It also means that if the toy makes an annoying sound, you get a break from it while your little champ generates enough electricity to get it going again.

Magic - this has got to be one of the best innovations in toy land in recent years! Check out ecotronics.com for more information.

Enjoy!
